We issued the following statement in reaction
to the car bomb explosion this morning outside the offices of EITB, a public
radio and television broadcaster known for its balanced news coverage with
headquarters in Bilbao, the main city of Spain's Basque Country. The bomb
exploded at around 11 a.m. after a warning call from the armed separatist group
ETA tipped a fire brigade, EITB reported on its Web site. The broadcaster's
premises had been evacuated; no deaths and one minor injury were reported, The
Associated Press said.
